B-Roll footage of the start of the opening of the Apostle Island National Park Ice Caves.
For a second year in a row, the Apostle Islands Ice Caves are open to the public while the cold weather and ice conditions permit them to be safety accessed. However, it is a pretty tricky walk for over a mile on slippery ice conditions that are more like walking on a hockey rink.

Package shot in Jefferson County in and around the town of Mt. Vernon in southern Illinois. Mt. Vernon is at the junction of Interstates 57/64 approximately one hour east of St. Louis.
A major winter storm is hammering southern Illinois where WINTER STORM WARNINGS are in effect overnight for freezing rain and accumulating ice as well as snow and sleet. Parts of the region have seen as much as 0.30″ ice accumulation which has lead to accidents and extremely dangerous driving conditions. The storm will continue its winter barrage until late morning when it will change over to rain and become a flood threat as heavy rains, up to 3-inches possibly, will fall on ice-packed snow and frozen ground, leading to excessive runoff and potential for flooding across southern Illinois.
